Types of Jeans

Introducing the Denim Fit Guide, a guide to finding your perfect denim fit from iconic silhouettes. Featuring multiple types of jeans, the Denim Fit Guide covers Calvin Klein’s range of denim choices and denim washes to curate towards your personal style. Choose your favorite from our low to high jean rises and slim to wide leg options.

The key to the ideal denim match is to find the right jean silhouette. Our 90s jeans are inspired by the era right before the early aughts where the denim silhouette was more relaxed and the rise hit the mid waist. The 90s Tapered and the 90s Loose styles have a slightly more tapered fit while the 90s straight is cut with a relaxed straight leg. They all relay casual ease for everyday wear. For a looser cut, our jean fit guide recommends the Low Rise Baggy Jeans which are low-slung and dip below the hips. They have a roomier fit throughout the leg and are effortless to style. Tailored with exaggerated proportions, our Wide Leg silhouettes are designed for stealing gazes and igniting conversation. The high-rise waist creates the appearance of an extended leg line, accentuating the dramatic shape. We’ve created three separate wide leg fits: Ultra Wide Leg, the Ultra High Rise Wide Leg, and the Wide Leg. Each is a distinct variation of the wide leg silhouette with an emphasis on creating a wider fit or increasing the rise. For more a more streamlined style, our Standard Straight mid-rise jeans have a classic straight cut that are timeless and adaptable across multiple outfits. We also provide a more fitted straight silhouette with our Slim Straight that feel sleek and can be dressed up or styled down. Discover more streamlined silhouettes with our Slim Fit Jeans and Skinny Fit jeans.

Reference the denim size chart to find the right fit. Size down when shopping jeans for petite sizes. For tips on how to wash jeans or how to wash denim, we recommend washing our denim pieces inside out on a gentle cycle to ensure they last through time.
